    How to break my car in correctly?

    No, he said the first oil change should be @ 1k miles because of the new engine, and then 3k miles after that, but to use normal oil until 10k miles where as I thought I was going to use the 5W-20 Sythentic @ that first oil change.

    Someone hit me! Tell me why I don't want a Jetta!

    The Altima's handling wasn't even close to the Mazda's, and yes I do realize there totally different cars, but the ride and how much fun we had driving the Mazda couldn't compare to just being able to go in a straight line faster. Anyways that makes no sense but you get what I'm saying. I...

    How to break my car in correctly?

    What about synthetic oil? We just ordered our SP23 and the dealer said it would have less than 5 miles on it when we get it. He said nothing about specific break in stuff and said to change the oil at 1000 miles, He also said to not use synthetic oil until 10,000 miles on the car. I was going...

    Someone hit me! Tell me why I don't want a Jetta!

    Wow! How nerve racking is that buying a brand new not even built yet car coming from Japan. I can't wait to use the Navigation System and Zoom-Zoom everywhere. Again thanks a lot with all your help. 4 months couldn't pass by quick enough.

    Someone hit me! Tell me why I don't want a Jetta!

    That great Yes the Jetta has more HP and it a kick in the ass when that turbo kicks in, But it is an outdated body style, I think the 3 looks so much better in styling, but if you lived in the air starved colorado you might like the turbo engine in the mountains. The price @ 22k, the only thing...

    (help) My wife and I were going to order the 05' Mazda3 Special Edition with everything for about 23,500, but just for comparison sake we went and drove the Jetta GLS with the 1.8T (Turbo) and the 5 speed automatic. And we liked it so we are torn now between the 2 cars. We have to order the...

    Bose system on 05' special edition.

    Well then! I guess I got an opinion, It's all good though! Although I had almost talked myself into getting the special edition just for the Bose and Color of the car, I have changed my opinion, I might get it because of the color but not the Bose, I have a B&W 7.2 system for my home theatre...

    Bose system on 05' special edition.

    Hello All, Just want to get an opinion on the Bose system. If I wanted to keep the stock look of the car would it be worth the extra money to get the special edition w/ the bose system over just the stock 6 disc changer set up, or would it be easier just to upgrade the speakers on the S model...

    SP23 in the USA?

    Not a whole lot of info out there on it, so far all I've seen is a printed brochure off the dealers computers, And why would it look so bad. If you take care of it.

    SP23 in the USA?

    The way my dealer talked about it, he didn't sound like there was going to be a limit to production, Although he didn't say.

    Anyone hear about the 05' SP23

    My wife and I went to a local dealership to see if a navigation system in a 3 was in stock, but to no avail. So I was talking to the guys to see when would come in, he didn't know. But on the desk I see a printed brochure of the 05' SP23 and @ $990 over what the stock "s" would cost I think I...

    2005 Mazda 3

    Just to put my two cents in, The dealer here in Denver told me they would raise the price 2%-4% on the 05' although that could of been a scare tactic. Just though I'd share my experience Chris
